The hands-on experience and mentorship provided by the program was invaluable in preparing me for my future career in engineering. The company's focus on developing water solutions gave me an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing industry and its challenges. I had the unique opportunity of being able to meet various experienced engineers and work on core projects. Return offers are very common at Watts.

Sustaining Engineering Intern
June - August 2020 • Blauvelt, NY
What I liked
Hands on position with constant interaction on the manufacturing floor. Had a great intern program and supported interns in any way that they possibly could have. There were also 'intern buddies' which were early in career employees that pretty much gave us mentors for our positions.
What I wish was different
I would have preferred getting projects early in the summer instead of half-way through.
Advice
Ensure who your manager will be and what their managing style is.
